Impeerium peab surema

Mihhail Zõgar

Impeerium peab surema

Miks hukkus Vene impeerium? Liiga sageli on ajalugu on keskendunud riigile, täpsemalt selle valitsejale. Oleme harjunud nägema ajalugu kui juhtide elulugude kogumit ning selle tsaaride, peasekretäride ja presidentide korrapärase rea tagant ei paista üldse ühiskonda. Mida tahtsid inimesed? See raamat on katse kirjutada Vene ühiskonna elulugu. Uurida, mida see püüdles ja miks pidi impeerium selle surve all surema. Haaravate detailidega vürtsitatud raamatu peategelasteks on ühiskonna kõige...

Džungel kasvab tagasi. Meie ohtlikuks muutunud maailm ja Ameerika

Mis võib juhtuda, kui USA loobub üleilmse rahu ja korra tagamisest ning keskendub oma siseasjadele? Robert Kagani sõnul tuleb tunnistada, et läbi inimajaloo on eksisteerinud tung kaose poole. Maailmas leidub küllalt neid, kel on soovi ja võimalust olukorda hullemaks muuta – nad võtavad siis taas võimust. Nagu džungel, mis kasvab alati tagasi. Tema raamat on jõuline ja kujukas kirjeldus, milliseks maailm siis muutuda võib. „See on kahtlemata viimaste aastate olulisim raamat Euroopa julgeolekust....

Was weiße Menschen nicht über Rassismus hören wollen aber wissen sollten (ungekürzt)

"Darf ich mal deine Haare anfassen?", «Kannst du Sonnenbrand bekommen?», «Wo kommst du her?» Wer solche Fragen stellt, meint es meist nicht böse. Aber dennoch: Sie sind rassistisch. Warum, das wollen weiße Menschen oft nicht hören. Alice Hasters erklärt es trotzdem. Eindringlich und geduldig beschreibt sie, wie Rassismus ihren Alltag als Schwarze Frau in Deutschland prägt. Dabei wird klar: Rassismus ist nicht nur ein Problem am rechten Rand der Gesellschaft. Und sich mit dem eigenen...

When Islam is Not a Religion - Inside America's Fight for Religious Freedom (Unabridged)

Religious-liberty lawyer Asma Uddin has long considered her work defending people of all faiths to be a calling more than a job. Yet even as she seeks equal protection for Evangelicals, Sikhs, Hindus, Muslims, Native Americans, Jews, and Catholics alike, she has seen an ominous increase in attempts to criminalize Islam and exclude American Muslims from their inalienable rights. Somehow, the view that Muslims aren't human enough for human rights or constitutional protections is moving from...

Aftermath

Thomas E. Hall

Aftermath

Government policies created for one set of purposes almost always generate additional results that were not part of the original plan. Very often these unintended consequences are seriously adverse, and in some cases are so severe as to render the policy a failure. In Aftermath , noted economist Thomas Hall examines four major instances of significant unintended consequences, all of them negative, resulting from major public policies: the federal income tax, cigarette taxes, minimum wage laws,...

Nun kehrt er zurück, er bleibt vier Monate und – wie schon in seinem damaligen Buch Deutschboden – lässt er die Geschichte und die Einwohner des Städtchens auf sich zukommen.

Londonistan

Melanie Phillips

Londonistan

The suicide bombings carried out in London in 2005 by British Muslims revealed an enormous fifth column of Islamist terrorists and their sympathizers. Under the noses of British intelligence, London has become the European hub for the promotion, recruitment and financing of Islamic terror and extremism – so much so that it has been mockingly dubbed Londonistan. In this ground-breaking book Melanie Phillips pieces together the story of how Londonistan developed as a result of the collapse of...

Stopping the Spies

Stopping the Spies

In 2013, former National Security Agency (NSA) contractor Edward Snowden leaked secret documents revealing that state agencies like the NSA had spied on the communications of millions of innocent citizens. International outrage resulted, but the Snowden documents revealed only the tip of the surveillance iceberg. Apart from insisting on their rights to tap into communications, more and more states are placing citizens under surveillance, tracking their movements and transactions with public and...

The Coming of the American Behemoth

Michael Joseph Roberto

The Coming of the American Behemoth

Most people in the United States have been trained to recognize fascism in movements such as Germany’s Third Reich or Italy’s National Fascist Party, where charismatic demagogues manipulate incensed, vengeful masses. We rarely think of fascism as linked to the essence of monopoly-finance capitalism, operating under the guise of American free-enterprise. But, as Michael Joseph Roberto argues, this is exactly where fascism’s embryonic forms began gestating in the...

A Hidden History of the Cuban Revolution

Millions of words have been written about the Cuban Revolution, which, to both its supporters and detractors, is almost universally understood as being won by a small band of guerillas. In this unique and stimulating book, Stephen Cushion turns the conventional wisdom on its head, and argues that the Cuban working class played a much more decisive role in the Revolution’s outcome than previously understood. Although the working class was well-organized in the 1950s, it is believed to...

My Name Is Jody Williams

As Eve Ensler says in her inspired foreword to this book, «Jody Williams is many things—a simple girl from Vermont, a sister of a disabled brother, a loving wife, an intense character full of fury and mischief, a great strategist, an excellent organizer, a brave and relentless advocate, and a Nobel Peace Prize winner. But to me Jody Williams is, first and foremost, an activist.» From her modest beginnings to becoming the tenth woman—and third American woman—to receive the...

Educational Delusions?

Gary Orfield

Educational Delusions?

The first major battle over school choice came out of struggles over equalizing and integrating schools in the civil rights era, when it became apparent that choice could be either a serious barrier or a significant tool for reaching these goals. The second large and continuing movement for choice was part of the very different anti-government, individualistic, market-based movement of a more conservative period in which many of the lessons of that earlier period were forgotten, though choice...

The Political Economy of Economic Performance

Extant research continues to perpetuate a myth of Sub-Saharan African countries (SSACs) as ever stuck in the past and with incurable growth maladies. However, during the years just before the great global recession some of these countries performed better than countries in other regions. What explains this turnaround? How can it be ignited everywhere in the region and made to stick? The Political Economy of Economic Performance is among a few competitors that celebrate the successes of the...

Do They Make a Difference?

Over the last three decades, numerous radical right populist parties (RRPP) have emerged, developed, and strengthened their electoral weight in Western Europe. Yet, while several RRPP have managed to formally participate in government coalitions (such as in Italy, Austria, and Switzerland) or to informally support minority governments (such as in Denmark, and in The Netherlands) and while other RRPP have become highly visible opposition forces (such as in France, and Germany), the influence...

Dispatches from the Dark Side

Acclaimed examination of the British government’s complicity in torture. In this set of devastating essays, Gareth Peirce analyzes the corruption of legal principles and practices in both the US and the UK that has accompanied the ‘War on Terror’. Exploring the few cases of torture that have come to light, such as those of Guantánamo detainees Shafiq Rasul and Binyam Mohamed, Peirce argues that they are evidence of a deeply entrenched culture of impunity among those investigating presumed...

Bigger Than Bernie

The political ambitions of the movement behind Bernie Sanders have never been limited to winning the White House. Since Bernie first entered the presidential primaries in 2016, his supporters have worked to organize a revolution intended to encourage the active participation of millions of ordinary people in political life. That revolution is already underway, as evidenced by the massive growth of the Democratic Socialists of America, the teachers Bernie motivated to lead strikes across red and...

Marx and Freud in Latin America

The turbulent continent through the eyes of Marx and Freud. This book assesses the untimely relevance of Marx and Freud for Latin America, thinkers alien to the region who became an inspiration to its beleaguered activists, intellectuals, writers and artists during times of political and cultural oppression. Bruno Bosteels presents ten case studies arguing that art and literature—the novel, poetry, theatre, film—more than any militant tract or theoretical essay, can give us a glimpse into...
